Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for detecting unanticipated consumption of power by a device. A first set of power consumption data is selected, followed by the collection of a second set of power consumption data, which respectively correspond to the consumption of a first and second amount of power by a device when it performs an authorized operation. The first and second sets of power consumption data are then compared to detect whether the second amount of power consumed is greater than the first amount of power consumed. If so, then a notification is generated, stating that the device has consumed an unanticipated greater amount of power as a result of performing the authorized operation.

Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable automatically indicating approval between portions of content in digital items in a digital item network context based on social media activity. Specifically, activity signals (e.g., likes, shares, etc.) related to a social media item in a social media network environment having a topic are evaluated and a set of tags are generated based on the topic. A first portion of content from a first digital item and a second portion of content from a second digital item are selected from a collection of digital items received via a digital item network. The first portion and second portion are related to the topic based on the set of generated tags. An approval action (e.g., likes) is performed between the first portion and second portion.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for managing pattern contents across multiple racks. The workload usage characteristics of the pattern contents on a primary rack in a domain of racks are collected based on monitoring the workload usage of the pattern contents in the pattern definition and in the deployed pattern. Furthermore, information regarding use of the pattern definition, the deployed pattern and the pattern contents by users (“human interaction usage patterns”) is collected based on monitoring the human interaction usage patterns. The pattern contents are then ranked based on analyzing the collected workload usage characteristics and analyzing the collected information regarding human interaction usage patterns. Once the pattern contents are ranked, those contents that are highly ranked are deemed to be more likely to be utilized in the pattern and therefore are the contents that are copied from the primary rack to the other racks of the domain.
